The 2008 Brut Blanc de Blanc Cuvée Stanislas is an attractive, easygoing Champagne for the year. Tangerine oil, lemon confit, marzipan, brioche, spice and lightly honeyed notes lend notable exuberance. This is an especially forward, accessible wine for 2008. Overall, this is a solid effort.

Absolutely delicious, with hints of sweet pair and citrus.

Very enjoyable prestige cuvée. Pairs well with caviar, as well as Epoisses. Must be the 100% Chardonnay. Beautiful aroma of bread dough, yellow apple and pear. Mouth watering acids. Definitely worth the price.

100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards in the Cotes des Blancs. This Blanc de Blancs has a lot of weight and lush fruit but there is always a nice acidic edge with Thienot even though they usually allow MLF (exception blocked MLF with 2002 "La Vigne Aux Gamins" b/c 65 year old vines & not enough acidity). And there is always a fresh, clean profile with their wines. Incredible precision & focus while offering lots of stone fruit.

2005. Not a lot of ‘05 vintage champagne out there. This one very rich, off dry with cookies flavors. Very good
